The Swiss housing market has dried up. The vacancy rate at the end of June last year was just 1%. In urban centers, the rate was as low as 0.5%. (Source: FSO)<\/p>\n

The trend in transaction prices for residential property and rental prices is also clearly pointing upwards. The ongoing shortage of supply has caused prices to rise significantly over the years. The temporary interest rate effect in 2022\/2023 was only able to slow this momentum slightly. (Source: W\u00fcest Partner)<\/p>\n

A look at net immigration and the growth in the permanent resident population shows that residential construction has basically kept pace with population growth. In addition to immigration, the drivers of the record vacancy rate are the trend towards smaller apartments and the falling average household size.<\/p>\n

W\u00fcest Partner is forecasting a renewed increase in investment in residential buildings for 2025. Nevertheless, the volume will remain well below the level required to ease the housing shortage in the long term.<\/p>\n

Building in Switzerland: opportunities and challenges<\/h3>\n

In view of the market shortage, building should actually be worthwhile today. Nevertheless, construction activity has not increased significantly in recent years (source: FSO). This can be seen on the one hand in the stagnating direct construction investments, but also in the stagnating number of building applications. The reasons for this lie less in financing and more in the operational challenges of construction. Four central factors that tie up resources slow down the construction process and therefore influence the success of development projects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Demanding approval procedures: The average approval time for apartment buildings has increased significantly in recent years. According to UBS, it is now between 200 and 230 days, and even up to 305 days in large cities.<\/li>\n
  2. Greater structural and technical complexity: Increased requirements for quality of living, energy efficiency and sustainability lead to more demanding construction processes and complex building technology. At the same time, modern systems are opening up new added value, such as digital access solutions and intelligent heating and ventilation control systems.<\/li>\n
  3. Shortage of skilled workers in the construction industry: Qualified skilled workers are in short supply and are often fully booked for the long term. This makes awarding procedures more complex and the control and coordination of trades more important. The shortage also increases the risk of delays and quality problems.<\/li>\n
  4. Purchasing with a clear vision and a consistent view of margins: project success starts with the right purchasing. With real estate developments, there are additional risks: planning uncertainties, construction cost trends and market demand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
